CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-[Special Telegram
to the ENTERPRISE }-During the long
hours of the night the only newspaper
men who were admitted to the inner
precincts of the Jail were representatives
Of the associated press. They had quar-
ters in what is known as the lawyers
cage and were within ten feet of the
anarchists.
About o'clock, while there was COM
parative silence, the occupants We're
startled by crash and bang from the
northern corridor. 1t was nothing only
the sheriff and few other officers ex-
perimenting with the scaffOld and test
ing it and the ropes. Between 3 and
o'clock the rumble Of wheels outside
penetrated the thick walls and the Wag-
on drove up and unloaded four coffins,
and at $3.50 o'clock all were asleep,
Fielden and Schwab in their cells in the
second tier having retired before mid
night in the first flush of relief to them.
Not many minutes from 6 o'clock came
daylight, cold and pitiless as the law
about to be avenged, and the hustle was
different from that of the night-invaded
seclusion of the prison-the day of
hanging had arrived. Six o'clock came
and the rumbling of wagons, blowing
of whistles and ringing Of bells told
that the people outside were astir, but
the anarchists slept on. It was 15 min
utes to when Engel awoke. Within
ten minutes his three doomed compan-
ions opened their eyes. They tumbled
out of their cots hastily and
dressed themselves. No conversation
took place between the anarchists and
their guards. Spies and Parsons simply
bade them goodbye and in few min
utes the deputies emerged from the cell.
In the room they were relieved by
others. Fischer was the first one to
emerge from his cell, accompanied by
two deputies. He stepped over to the
plain iron sink and took good wash.
This movement was closely watched.
Spies next performed his ebolutions and
seemed to enjoy them, lingering long at
the sink. He carefully cleaned his
teeth and gurgled his throat. Old man
Engel followed the young anarchist,
and the last to wash was Parsons.
Active preparations for the execution
began at o'clock when Chief Bailiff
Cahill arrived at the Jail and assigned
the deputy sheriffs to their various po-
sitions during the event. 1t was an
nounced that Jailer Folz with three
deputies would conduct the prisoners
to the scaffold and superintend the ac-
tual hanging. Outside the Jail every
thing has been quiet. No one without
pass has been allowed within block
Of the building and strong bodies of po-
lice, armed with Winchester rifles,
guard every ar proach. There is the us:
ual crowd of idlers around in the street
as near the building as they are allowed
to approach. The police have kept them
moving and perfect order has prevailed
Before 10 o'clock DR.. Gray went in to
the prisoners, bearing in his hands three
wine glasses and a bottle of Jarvis
brandy, with which to brace up the
men. All of them partook of the slim
ulants. Fischer continued to make 9
spirit of bravado. Soon after singing
"Marseillaise" he spoke to Turnkey Stub
bein, laughing: "When get to HEAVIER
I'll put in a good word for you"
Following closely upon the Telegram
that Governor Oglesby had decided onc'
for all, the greatest hustle and excite
. ment prevailed in the Jail office, bu
Spies in his cell continued writing un
interruptedly and the others remained
equally nonchalant, notwithstanding
the confusion that marked the begin
ming Of the end. The rattling of chairs
tables and benches continued for sever
al minutes. but by 11:O5 there began t.
fall hush and conversation among tn
. crowd fell almost to whisper. Th
bare. hitewashed walls made a pain
full contrast with the dark-brown gal
lows, with It's fur n6osed ropes dang
